THE FARMERS ALLIANCE AND
av POLITICS. 81

The Galveston Neavs, in speaking Of
the little breeze in the Atlanta Con-
vention caused by the political speech
of Mr.. Streeter, Of Ilipois, says:
Indeed all the fayfners ,organiza.
tons in Texas havF apparently as a
rule kept political questions out of
their secret councils, and therein may
be found the secret of their harmony
and strength. There J. are agitators
like Streeter in their ranks who would
convert them into political conclaves
if they could, but these are decidedly
in the minority. The organizations
wound prosper even better if they
were excluded. They have no interest
in common with those farmers whose
purpose in organization is to promote
their legitimate industry by l~associa-
ton. The political agitators enter
such organizations solely for the adj
vancement of their personal ends, and
unfortunately they are sometimes in
trusted with authority which enables
them to trade with other politicians on
the basis of their supposed Influence
with the class they represent. Al
though they may not be able to make
their contracts good, their course re-
fleets discredi6 upon the bodies which
they assume to represent, and this is
one of the most serious evils that
affect the. organizations of farmers and
other laboring classes. These bodies
would make a long stride forward and
greatly augment their usefulness and
influence if they~wouIdirepudiate and
exclude the political hummer aad

FRUIT ALL THE YEAR.
How Putnam County Farmer Has Fruit
Every Day-Intelligent Culture and
Its Results -What Fruits

To Grow.
Editor PALArKA NEWS:
PUTNAM HALL, March %, 1887.
On my last visit to the city which.is the
capital of our county, and therefore be-
longs to us as well as to its immediate
citizens. you asked me to send you a
description of my mode of culture which
produced the fruit you have seen and
tasted. We, who live beyond your cor
porate limits, congratulate you heartily
on the improved appearance of Palatka,
and rejoice with her people on the
largely increased sphere of usefulness
which will hereafter be enjoyed by their
paper-THE NEWS.
Well do we remember when We must
take three days journey to reach our
county seat, and even then we were
lucky if we found a market for our pro-
duce. Now we find ready sale for all we
can grow, and all our wan,s are cheaply
and easily supplied in the spacious stores
of a city which is rapidly growing into a
metropolis.
But your readers want something
about my fruit, and know more about
the city than | do. have been living at
nv present home since 1861. and began
ia the woOds. Experience has taught me
that | can put fruit on my table every
day in the year. and my wife can con-
vince all Corners that a little care will
give us the finest Towering plants and
roses unexcelled anywhere. And I will
tell how grew the fruit of which YOU
make inquiry.
With no special care save that involved
in planting and cultivation, those who
have proper soil need never be without
fruit in Putnam county. l put out my
strawberry plants in October and these
bear from February to June. My Peen-tO
peaches ripen in May and l eat Honey
peaches from June to July, while the
old native stock will hold their fruit I'M
til August. l have different varieties of
| figs, and from these l pick fine fruit
from June to January. l have many
varieties of plums, and these ripen in
! April. May and June. My Scuppernongs
are ripe in August, and my Thomas and
/ Flower grapes from August to the mid
die of November. The Oblong and
Creole oranges are ready for the table in
| October. and later varieties remain on
my trees till March. Then 1 have the
Sugar or June pear. and these have been
giving me heavy crops for two years. In
South Carolina they ripen earlier, but
with me they are not ready for the table
till July and August. II is bell-shaped
and hangs in clusters of five or six
think this is far superior to the LeConte.
You will thus see that the question OF
a fruit supply is easily solved in Florida,
and it may be cheaply grown. too. OF
course good soil must be secured in the
first place, and then good Judgment
must always be ready. But no special
knowledge is required, and any man can
soon learn from experience To do what
have done.
And now, if there is more of this sort
wanted let me know: shall write occa-
sionally to let the world know that this
section has not vet been engulfed by an
earthquake. ;. E TIMMoNs.

CITY NOTES.

Recent railroad rumors seem to be-
taking shape, as Col. y. r. Gruelle and
Mr.. l.. O. Gold are seen on our streets.
The steamer John Sylvester brought in
about thirty passengers yesterday. most
of whom were Northern visitors.
Palatka went Round the World" last
night with the musical and versatile
John Thompson, and enjoyed every step
of the way. The hits and dances were
all good, but the audience especially
enjoyed the 'hey for Lachariah.".
A few nights ago as our City Marshal
was about to make an arrest, his foot
caught in one of the water pipes, on
Water street and he was thrown violent
" to the ground. and before he could get
on his feet his intended prisoner made
good his escape. Whisky got the fellow
into trouble and water helped him out.
a visit to the groves opposite Palatka
shows that large crop of the young
fruit is now on the trees, and if it does
not fall off in considerable quantities the
trees will be tested to their utmost To
bear up the heavy crop of fruit. The
trees have put on a fine growth, too.
and never looked better than now
Oranges are still being shipped in large
quantities to the Northern markets.
While in the grove of Mr.. Martin Grit
fin yesterday afternoon, we noticed a
great number of oranges on the trees.
The steamer Georgia brought down abou,
800 boxes yesterday morning from the
groves up the river, which seemed to bt
very fine.
The Circuit Court for Putnam County
will convene in Palatka on Tuesday
next, April 5th. The civil docket is s
long one. and will take up considerabl,
time. The criminal docket Is one of tbs
longest ever in the county. there beins
not less than twenty prisoners IN jai
awaiting trial. The trial of Henry Wig

next term of the court.

Our town looks much better with the
uncouth quantities of grass cleared off
and ugly stumps burned out. Yet there
are still innumerable chances for improve
ment. Let us do our best in making the
place attractive. Nature has made us a
beautiful location, but those natural
beauties require the finishing touches of
art to make them complete. A town
well kept up. possessing such natural adj
vantages, even though inferior in size Is
a greater attraction To the Northern
tourist. seeking rest and the advantages
of a salubrious climate, than many cities
teeming with the din and hustle of COM
